Title: Aftermarket Frame Options
Post by: havinnoj on February 27, 2018, 10:31:07 PM

Gentlemen, looking for a new aftermarket frame.  Besides Lonestar, Walsh, and the 10 Roll Design full rolling Lobo's seem to be the only current options.  I've heard ISF but without much real world feedback, I'm not going down that road.  Any others to consider?  Also opinions on fitment would be great.  Have heard some Q/C issues with LSR lately that make me hesitant.

Just my opinion, but I would not give Lonestar a nickel of my money.

LSR does not have a very good track record.  Seen several of their frames crack.  But for the right price......

Fischer Racing will still make a frame.  They are in Ashtabula, Ohio.

Dirtwheels said Arens was going to make a run of frames again, that was a few years ago though.

The Arens guy is on Facebook quite regularly and was talking about making some.

I wouldn't hesitate to get one from Steve Buschinsky. His stuff is top notch

they were considered the most durable by some.  I know the Roll Design were tanks and rarely had failures from what i have heard.

@Tbone07 @jcs003 - thanks for the feedback.  I'd love a new Roll but have to buy a full chassis to get one - depending on price and what parts I'd sell, maybe that makes sense - they hare heavy though.  I'll ping Steve/ ISF Racing and keep an eye on Arens.

I just stumbled across the Roll Design Instagram page.....looks like they're making two Lobo frames in an effort to see how much it takes and what it costs nowadays

Jed told me they were making 10 LOBO full rollers.  Should have complete pricing in a couple of weeks.
